Our Assessment: The Remington Model 700 BDL represents the traditionally appointed sporting version of the long-running Model 700 bolt action platform, combining a hinged floorplate, polished blue finish, and checkered walnut furniture with the action’s familiar push-feed design. This left-handed example is chambered in .338 Winchester Magnum and fitted with a 24-inch barrel, creating a powerful hunting rifle suited to elk, moose, and other large North American game. Its Leupold VX-III 2.5–8×36 scope provides a practical magnification range for field use, while the original iron sights have been removed and their mounting holes filled.
Manufactured in May 1990, this rifle retains approximately 98% of its original blue finish, with light floorplate scratches, minor wear on the bolt knob, and normal operational marks on the bolt. The skip-line checkered walnut stock shows scattered scratches, dings, and compressions but remains tight and structurally sound, with no chips or cracks. The bore is excellent, remaining bright with sharp rifling and no erosion, and the action and safety function correctly. The jeweled bolt remains vivid, and the included Leupold scope has clear glass and rates in Fine condition. With its left-handed configuration, powerful .338 Winchester Magnum chambering, strong bore, and classic BDL presentation, this is an appealing hunting rifle for the southpaw big-game hunter or Remington collector.
